Mercury concentrations in brook trout and white perch from Kejimkujik National Park, Nova Scotia

This study examines fillet mercury levels in brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and white perch (Morone americana) collected from water bodies in Kejimkujik National Park. Mercury levels found in these species, important components of the local recreational fishery, are compared to those observed in other North American studies and to Health Canada guidelines regarding safe consumption of fish. Correlations are identified between total mercury concentrations and fish age, length, and weight. Differences in mean mercury concentrations among sampling locations are also noted, and possible sources of the mercury contamination are discussed.

Ces espèces sont une part de la pêche récréative locale et peuvent donc être consommées par les humains. Les résultats d'une étude sur la perche jaune (Perca flavescens) seront divulgués dans un rapport prochain."
